HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate Title: Custody Time Limits: A Report to the Handling of Custody Time Limits by the Crown Prosecution Service Summary: This report presents the findings of an audit of the Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) handling of cases involving custody time limits (CTLs). The audit team found that progress had been made since the last thematic review, substantially attributable to the introduction of a national standard. However, compliance by the CPS areas with the standard varies and more work needs to be done to ensure consistent application of the standard. Details: London: HMCPSI, 2010. 54p.

Author: Neyroud, Peter Title: Operation Turning Point: Interim report on a randomised trial in Birmingham, UK Summary: Operation Turning Point is a randomised controlled trial based in Birmingham, UK. The trial has been designed to compare the relative effectiveness and cost benefit of police prosecuting low harm offenders with a treatment, a "turning point contract", which combines a deferred prosecution with a set of conditions agreed with the offender, which are intended to support desistance. The 2 groups - control (prosecuted) and treatment (Turning Point) are allocated by random assignment by the Cambridge Gateway. The trial will be evaluated by comparing the control and treatment groups against their outcomes for prevalence and seriousness of offending and the cost-benefit of the two interventions. The trial, which has been implemented in stages, commencing in November 2011, is intended to run in the four Birmingham Local Policing Areas until Summer 2013. The research is part of a wider programme focused on reducing crime harm supported by the Monument Trust. This paper presents an interim report, describing the setting up of the trial and some emerging findings from the research.
